  10. I believe that Michael Meyers comes back to Haddonfield and stalks Laurie because he represents an unavoidable fate that is destined to occur and repeat. The scene in every movie that gives exposition to the point of the film itself is always a classroom with a teacher discussing it. We see this in Hereditary and we see this in Halloween. And what's being discussed in that classroom? Fate. How often do we see or hear trains in this movie? An unstoppable force going down a singular track with a particular destination in mind. Laurie Strode seems like an ideal final girl for a horror film because she's not all that into sex while all her friends are bangin' babysitters. On another level, maybe Laurie doesn't want to grow up. Maybe she wants to hold onto her youth forever. But you can't stop that from happening. No matter what you do, you will grow up. Maybe that's the significance of Laurie looking at two children resting in their beds right before she's finally attacked because fate ultimately arrives no matter how hard you try to avoid it. Also, don't you love the claustrophobia of the film? Starts with wide shots of suburbs, goes into houses into rooms and ends in a closet. The walls are constantly closing in around you.

  12. Michael Myers' face: what you're talking about is the Mandela effect. It's an observed phenomenon in which a large segment of the population misremembers a significant event or shares a memory of an event that did not actually occur.
